It's sleep week! In this episode, Gina sits down with Dr. Beverley David for a deep and practical chat about sleep—what it is, why it matters, and how it's connected to your mood, health, and weight loss journey. They unpack how sleep impacts everything from hormone balance to emotional regulation, and why trying to “force” it only makes things worse. From late-night snacks and wine messing with your circadian rhythm to the unique sleep struggles of menopause, it's a real-talk reminder that your relationship with sleep matters just as much as your food choices. A must-listen for anyone who's tired of being tired.Dr. Beverley is a Clinical Psychologist registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario.

Whether you're new or experienced, there's something for everyone!In this episode, Gina shares a raw and honest account of a turbulent weekend that shook her—literally. After experiencing a terrifying mid-air scare on a flight, she opens up about reverting to old coping habits, including drinking and eating off-plan. But instead of spiralling, Gina uses this moment to spotlight the messy middle of maintenance—the space where life throws curveballs and the “new you” is still learning to catch them. She and Odette unpack what it really means to support your new identity, how to sit with hard moments without letting them define you, and the power of self-awareness to pull you back to centre.

Whether you're new or experienced, there's something for everyone!In this episode, Gina and Odette unpack one of the most common misconceptions about the Maintenance Program: that it's just “more of the same.” Gina challenges the idea that maintaining your weight is simply repeating what you did to lose it, explaining how maintenance brings a new level of self-awareness, identity work, and intentionality. They explore the difference between using Back On Track as a reactive tool versus proactively following the weekly tweaks in maintenance, and why routine matters more than perfection.

In this guest expert episode, Gina chats with Certified Nutritional Practitioner, public speaker, and host of the feelgoodery podcast, Kyle Buchanan. Together, they explore why summer can leave us feeling mentally scattered—and how that doesn't mean you're off track. Kyle unpacks how future-focused thinking can trigger anxiety, zap your motivation, and even stop you from getting started. You'll hear how younger versions of yourself might be reacting in the moment, and how simple practices like breathwork and the SSCC framework (Stop. Slow down. Connect. Compassion.) can help shift your state. Kyle also shares why those first 10 minutes after waking are gold, and how the tiniest mindset shifts—like one long exhale or one kind word—can lead to massive change over time.Where to find Kyle:Instagram: @itskylebwww.kylebuchanan.cafeelgoodery PodcastThe Exhale with Kyle Buchanan on SiriusXM RadioYou can find the full video hosted at:www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2025To learn more about the Livy Method, visit www.livymethod.com.
